Important

Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.

Requests that the common language runtime not call the finalizer for the specified object.

public:
 static void SuppressFinalize(System::Object ^ obj);

public static void SuppressFinalize (object obj);

static member SuppressFinalize : obj -> unit

Public Shared Sub SuppressFinalize (obj As Object)

Parameters

obj: Object

The object whose finalizer must not be executed.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

obj is null.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the SuppressFinalize method in a resource class to prevent a redundant garbage collection from being called. The example uses the dispose pattern to free both managed resources (that is, objects that implement IDisposable) and unmanaged resources.

Remarks

This method sets a bit in the object header of obj, which the runtime checks when calling finalizers. A finalizer, which is represented by the Object.Finalize method, is used to release unmanaged resources before an object is garbage-collected. If obj does not have a finalizer or the GC has already signaled the finalizer thread to run the finalizer, the call to the SuppressFinalize method has no effect.

Objects that implement the IDisposable interface can call this method from the object's IDisposable.Dispose implementation to prevent the garbage collector from calling Object.Finalize on an object that does not require it. Typically, this is done to prevent the finalizer from releasing unmanaged resources that have already been freed by the IDisposable.Dispose implementation.
